Task that uses this form

The following links and tables provide descriptions for the controls on this form.

Button	Description
Definition group	Select a definition group. The definition group identifies the tables to export data from. You cannot export data without a definition group.
File name	Type a file name and use the browse button to select a location for the file that contains the export data. Important Do not include periods in file names, except between the name and the extension. File names that include periods are not supported for export files. Be sure to save exported files in a folder that has appropriately restricted permissions. For example, allowing access to the data from the following tables can potentially expose confidential information: SysConfig, SysUserInfo, and UserInfo. If unsecured data from these tables is modified and then imported, you run the risk of potentially providing increased access to the Microsoft Dynamics AX system.
File type	Select a file type for the export file: Binary – Exports as a compressed file format. This option is used most frequently. Comma – Exports as a comma separated value list, and omits some data, such as contain fields, line breaks, and binary data.
Execute on AOS	If you are executing immediately, instead of as a batch job, select this check box to have the export job executed on AOS instead of by the client. This option typically improves performance.
